Pro Yakyuu Famista Returns

Pro Yakyuu Famista Returns sold nearly 26,000 copies during its first week on the Japanese market. That may not seem like much, but the game actually did quite well.

Media Create reports that the first week sell-through rate for Pro Yakyuu Famista Returns was 88.72 percent. The previous title in the series, Pro Baseball Famista 2011, sold 13,000 units in its first week with a sell-through rate of 27.64 percent.

Although it has been roughly four and a half years since that and the interval between releases has been wide, the initial sales of the new 3DS game are double when compared to Famista 2011. Also, as the sell-through is very high, many shops have sold out. There is the favorable timing that Pro Baseball Climax Series is being held and the Jikkyo Powerful Pro Baseball series doesn’t see a regular yearly entry this year, so it can be considered that Famista Returns attracts the demand from baseball game fans.

A new Pro Yakyuu Famista Returns commercial has been uploaded by Bandai Namco. The commercial boasts the game’s player roster and online modes. Check it out below:
